This year’s OUTPUT once again featured a variety of student projects from our Interactive Media Lab, as well as an award for an excellent thesis.

The event was kicked off by artist Yadegar Asisi and his inspiring keynote, who reflected on technological progress, human perception, and the importance of keeping technology centered on human experience.

We are also delighted to congratulate our graduate Nicola Doyle, who received this year’s Visualistik Award for the best Bachelor’s thesis in Media Computer Science for her thesis “Designing an Engaging Youth-Focused User Interface for an Urban Planning Participation Platform”, supervised by Annett Mitschick and Raimund Dachselt.

Later that day, the Interactive Media Lab presented several projects highlighting research in augmented reality, immersive visualization, and visual analytics.

Nathalie Senechal showcased “Augmented Bacteria – Learning with Augmented Reality“, an educational AR prototype developed in collaboration with the Chair of Microbiology that enriches printed learning materials with interactive virtual content.

Julián Mendez presented “the Nemo Explain Visualizer”, a collaborative project with the Knowledge-based Systems Group for exploring reasoning traces and building queries for the Nemo rule engine. Together with Christian Alrabbaa and Alisa, he also demonstrated “The (Concrete) Evonne and other DL+VIS Tools”, a suite of interactive visualization tools for inspecting Description Logic reasoning and ontologies.

Finally, Timur Gildeev presented “Immersive Data-driven Storytelling”, a Virtual Reality prototype that enables users to explore what-if scenarios through immersive visualizations of environmental and urban sustainability data.

We were excited to see the creativity and depth of work presented at this year’s event! For more information, visit https://output-dd.de/projekte/.
